And the state boundaries are more or less meaningless. The panhandle of Florida and many other parts of the Gulf are Bama country.

I see the question you are asking. Maybe this is a way to ask the questions. Take Saban out of equation. Or lets say Saban coached every team.
Basically assume the coach of each school is the same. This highlights recruiting territory, tradition etc...
But I already see the flaw - the schools with more money will usually hire the better coach so that kind of knocks that method of comparison down.
I think Bama, LSU, A&M, Fla - will do what it takes to win and get back on track with new, big hires when need be. A&M still needs to be watched because they have a tradition of keeping coaches for long periods that are average. But with Bowtie, and the SEC, and investment in the new stadium - if Sumlin ever leaves or if he ever started losing and had to go, I think the new Administration will do what it takes to get a big dog.
So I say:
#1 Bama
#2 LSU
#3 Fla
#4 A&M* (see above)
#5 Ga.
#6 Auburn / USC / Ark / Tenn
#7 Ole Miss / Miss St / Mizzou
#8 Kentucky / Vandy

Wait...
So the team with the greatest long-term success to date is #4?
The state of Alabama produces talent well above it's population. An Alabama gets the lion's share of it.
Most SEC titles, most AP titles, Top winning % in the SEC... and #4?
Really now?
